Midlife crisis of peace! It's embarrassing for a twenty year old to dress and act like that so don't get me started on a dude at his age.
Low self-esteem issues?

Ok sure he may be douchey looking.

But you guys don't understand that he's a brand now. All the shit he's doing like tats, oil etc are to help sell that mutant supplements line & his clothing line. That shit is big overseas bevause foreigners think he's a freak & badass which helps sell his product.

Like it or not he's cashing in on his look. He's not competitive anymore & just focused on the freak factor which always sells.

I get that statement, but at the end of they day I make an above average income, no kids, mortgage isnt too crazy, and I cant afford to even lease a bently, not by a long shot.

"Well off" -lol

He's not well off, he most likely living hand to mouth.  What's he going to do when the fad wears off?  Doubt he has any skills set... only tats and oils bags.  Broke in less than 5 years... I'd bet on it.

In the current climate, with rock bottom interest rates and banks rewarded for lending, you don't need to be well off to borrow to the hilt. It does help though when, if ever, they start expecting you to pay it back.

I haven't rejected it. In truth, I care a lot less than you about his financial status. My post wasn't about him, it was correcting your erroneous claim that you need to be well off to get lending - you simply don't.

Good point.  Easy credit is what ends up destroying many people.

One day, the creditors come knocking.  If you ain't got the cash, they repossess all your stuff.

Would love to have a beer with this guy and discuss his philosophy on life. He probably wouldn't have a beer as it may destroy his body, but he can have a mutant shake while I have my beer. Either way I'm sure he's really interesting. When a guy gets a shit load of tattoos and poses in front of expensive cars you know he's a legit character.

call him up.. I know he would meet with you.  He is a great guy.  He will tell you we are all retarded.   

Hey what do you do for fun???  I race cars or horses.   How about you??  I pick things up and put them down... and I pay for the privilege to do this.       gym fees,... diet foods... gym gear..  equals one nice vacation a year..

That's a ten-year-old Bentley Arnage. They go for around $35K (or much less if Rich got it salvage, as Amy claimed all his cars were). I wouldn't buy one because the reliability is horrible and maintenance costs are ridiculous. They look nice and they impress the neighbors, though ;D.

Ae you people seriously wondering how Rich gets his money? He was on Scrubs in 2000 at best and was a GLORIFIED EXTRA. People who think he is living off his money from Scrubs and Planet of the Apes in 1990, lol are WRONG! Hes NOT RICH, he likes people to think so and when his fairytail comes to an end, which it will, he will have nothing. Sure, he has a few few cool cars which on paper he paid under 8 grand for but at the end of the day, thats all he has...So all you people that are wondering or curious, or even envious~ I guarentee you all are all better off. I wish him the best of luck......

HAHHAHAH House is actually in foreclosure. And for the record I have moved on. I used to be Amy Waz & now I am wit someone new as Rich and I broke up Over a year ago.......I distanced myself from that whole world but lately people in same circle have asked me if I saw videos, etc so I looked......What a joke. Gave me a good laugh. I actually feel sorry for him.

Dude appears to be doing very well in the BB industry. Looks like he is making a lot more money than the majority of the pros. He said a lot of his money comes from rental property? Who knows but, he looks like he is enjoy life, trains at Golds, drives nice cars and has hot blonde girlfriends. His look is not for me, but who am I to judge tools.

He hasn't been involved in the profession of competitive bodybuilding in several years. At that time, he had few if any tattoos and looked human.

His "product" is...his bad boy image, I guess. The oiled up, grotesque muscles. The cars. The training videos on Youtube. He's a kind of white Kali. And up until recently, Mutant Mass products.

That's a ten-year-old Bentley Arnage. They go for around $35K (or much less if Rich got it salvage, as Amy claimed all his cars were). I wouldn't buy one because the reliability is horrible and maintenance costs are ridiculous. They look nice and they impress the neighbors, though ;D.

I thought the 6.75 OHV V8 was bullet proof.  The parts might be expensive the the engine is dead simple.

I'm not saying it's a bad car, but it's British so there will be issues. Here is a review from a Bentley owner's website:

I recently bought an 2003 Arnage. The best info I got was from an indepedent shop I went to that specializes in Bentleys and RR's. He did a ppi on a 2000 that I was looking for and provided great info on them. Basically he said stay away from the 99-01s due to head gasket issues. If it hasnt had one done recently it will soon.
An updated twin turbo power plant was put in the 2002's that is more reliable and econimical (10mpg, lol). They eat batteries so put in dry cells and they suffer from suspension issues so make sure to get that checked out. Also have the turbos checked out for leaks in the waste gates. More so on the single turbo versions.

To answer your question the green label had the old bmw motor. The red label has the 6.75 bentley motor. The bmw is less powerful.

i think the seamaster is the only watch that I've always wanted buy have never owned. (if that makes sense.. lol.. every watch I've ever wanted, I've eventually owned at some point)... except an 18k rolex yachtmaster II with blue dial and white face, but after wearing it (the ym2) i realized i didn't like it, and would rather have an 18k pam or 18k submariner (in blue).

i could've gotten 3 tag's (grand Carrera, link and a Monaco) instead of the two uboat's... and regret doing that deal. I'm not a fan of the uboats anymore, and not a big fan of tag's, but they would've been more 'versatile' for daily wear.

if i had to choose one, it's the the PAM. the blackface iwc, 45mm seamaster planet ocean, and ss submariner are all a distant 2nd.

I actually picked up my seamaster for just under a grand. so about a fifth of the price of my pam, but I think I wear the omega more.

i have a rubber strap on my ss uboat flightdeck... i prefer leather. i'll probably never buy another rubber strap watch. lol.

buddy of mine runs an online pawnshop and ALWAYS has omegas. i don't get it.. ppl never really know the value of them. i had a client, young girl 30yrs old, who's husbands grandmother gave him an omega.... and they fucking donated it to a local thrift store! lol... they thought it was like a timex or Seiko or something. lol.. they had no idea till the worker said "are you sure you want to part with this?" and explained what it was. i told her I'd give her 8 free 1hour sessions for it and she agreed, until she googled it and found out what it was worth. lol... it was a speedmaster, btw... not a seamaster, but I'd still take it for that price. lol

Good watch tastes.

I have a seamaster that is about 5-6 years old (blue face) steel strap. Also my favourite watch is my 1950 Omega which is a 287 caliber or something, pure gold case and black leather strap - very understated
